Chapter 22 Ridiculous, Understood, As Expected This isn't some kind of "..."

These words caused an uproar in the auditorium.

Fu Ze made such a big show of things yesterday that all the executives in the auditorium could roughly guess what had happened.

But precisely because they knew the main reason why Yuan Jianxing was demoted, almost everyone instinctively felt indignant on his behalf.

"Silence!" The deputy director's sharp shout rang out from the loudspeakers, echoing repeatedly throughout the auditorium and forcefully suppressing all other noises.

After the auditorium returned to calm, she continued reading the detailed contents of Yuan Jianxing's demotion notice: "Upon investigation, it was found that yesterday, Yuan Jianxing, without following the normal procedures for requesting and approval, and without reporting his work as required, arbitrarily made a major decision and organized its implementation from the Central District to the North District..."

Having changed from his previous drowsy state, Fu Ze was now observing the deputy director intently, not missing any information conveyed by her words or expressions.

"This constitutes a serious violation of work discipline and process management regulations, leading to chaotic work arrangements and causing adverse effects and serious consequences..."

The more Fu Ze listened, the more ridiculous it seemed.

This explanation was polished to be flawless, completely ignoring the urgency and seriousness of the incident at the time, and focusing solely on Yuan Jianxing's violation of regulations.

"His behavior seriously violated organizational principles, reflecting his weak sense of identity, lack of discipline, and weak sense of procedure, which is completely inconsistent with the basic qualities and requirements that a CEO should have."

Strictly speaking, the facts in this document are indeed beyond reproach, since the violation was indeed committed by Yuan Jianxing himself.

But Fu Ze simply did not believe that there was no tacit approval from the deputy director or even higher-level leadership involved.

What is this? Is it like discarding a donkey after it has served its purpose?

Clearly, many people shared the same thoughts as Fu Ze. Their gazes toward the leadership section, especially those of the deputy director who was speaking in the center of the stage, became complicated.

Despite the overwhelming public opinion, the deputy director continued, "After deliberation and approval by the adjudication bureau and its superior authorities, the following decision is made regarding the original Jianxing:"

"I. Effective from the date of this announcement, Yuan Jianxing has been demoted from his original position as Chief Executive Officer to Junior Executive Officer and reassigned to work in City L."

"Second, he/she is ordered to submit a profound written self-criticism, and will be publicly criticized throughout the unit to learn from the lesson and make serious rectifications."

The moment the deputy director finished speaking, tens of thousands of pieces of equipment on site shook.

Taking advantage of his position dozens of rows away from the podium, Fu Ze secretly glanced down at his phone.

The sender's address was clearly marked with the three characters "Yuan Jianxing," while the title of the letter was "Written Self-Examination Regarding Unauthorized Personal Actions."

Fu Ze immediately looked around, trying to find Yuan Jianxing's figure.

To be able to time it so precisely, he must have been there!

"Third, the relevant departments should strengthen internal management, reinforce the implementation of rules and regulations, and effectively prevent similar incidents from happening again."

Just as another fruitless search was about to begin, Fu Ze suddenly felt a scrutinizing gaze fall upon him from a peculiar angle.

It's definitely Harami Hoshi!

He immediately turned back and tracked after it, but only caught a glimpse of a fleeting glimpse of a garment as it drifted away.

"Organizational discipline cannot be ignored, and rules and procedures must be strictly observed. No one, in any position, may act in violation of discipline under the pretext of 'work needs' or 'emergency.' The Adjudication Bureau will resolutely investigate and hold accountable any acts of individual heroism that disregard the system, exceed authority, or act arbitrarily, and will never tolerate them."

"above."

After saying this, the deputy director saluted the surrounding executives once again, then left the stage and let the ceremony host take over to organize the departure.

Fu Ze first blended into the crowd and left the auditorium unnoticed. Then, as soon as he found an opening, he broke away from the main group and rushed towards the spot where the corner of his clothes had just appeared.

Then, as expected but unexpectedly, they came up empty-handed.

So he immediately changed his strategy and went to Yuan Jianxing's office.

This certainly cannot be considered as him acting on his own initiative. After all, the guidelines state that trainee executives should take the initiative to contact their mentor executives after the induction ceremony.

The document in Fu Ze's hand clearly stated in black and white that his supervising officer was Yuan Jianxing.

As soon as he boarded the elevator to his destination, Fu Ze immediately opened the "Written Self-Criticism".

I was shocked when I saw it. This "written self-criticism" was actually handwritten on a blank sheet of paper and then scanned!

Even so, every line in this "Prosecution" is written very neatly and straightly, and the spacing between paragraphs is also very comfortable to read.

Upon reading it, Fu Ze felt a surge of inexplicable anger.

Every word in this "Inspection" was so earnest, taking full responsibility for yesterday's transit hub, including the death of Snake Eyes, on his own shoulders, displaying the demeanor of a chief who "takes responsibility for his own actions."

Although outsiders may not know, in Fu Ze's view, Yuan Jianxing had completely and decisively ignored the existence of his opponent.

Yesterday you asked me things like "What do you think of what Snake Eyes said?", "Why should I listen in?", and "What is the use of the key?", who were you trying to impress?

At this moment, the elevator doors opened, and Fu Ze forced himself to relax and walked towards Yuan Jianxing's office in the manner befitting a trainee executive on his first day on the job.

Because the area outside Yuan Jianxing's office is a transportation hub, many executives also came over under the pretense of some reason to take a look.

Squeezing through the crowd, Fu Ze was shocked to see that a police tape had been put up at the office entrance.

The pool of blood that flowed out after my death yesterday reflected off the frosted glass behind the police tape, leaving a dark red mark, like a shameful birthmark on a person's face.

If many people previously felt that the court's punishment of Hara Misaki was too harsh, after witnessing this scene, they had nothing more to say.

A hostage locked in the CEO's office was actually killed despite all the security... So being demoted and reassigned was actually a pretty good outcome.

Some executives were dissatisfied with Fu Ze's reckless behavior and were about to reprimand this disrespectful trainee executive.

However, the others stopped him and pointed out the documents Fu Ze was holding.

When they realized that Fu Ze was the trainee executive assigned to Yuan Jianxing's command, their dissatisfaction immediately turned into sympathy.

At this critical juncture, anyone associated with Yuan Jianxing is doomed.

Just then, a voice that Fu Ze recognized very well came from the crowd.

“Fu Ze, right?” A figure stood behind Fu Ze. “Nice to meet you. My name is Mu Wangzhuo, and I am a friend of Yuan Jianxing.”

Fu Ze turned around and said to Mu Wangzhuo, whom he had met countless times before, "Good morning, Senior Mu."

Mu Wangzhuo glanced at the documents Fu Ze was carrying. "Are you here to see Yuan Jianxing?"

“Yes, he is my mentor.” Fu Ze readily admitted this.

Mu Wangzhuo gave Fu Ze an approving look. Just because this person still acknowledged him as Yuan Jianxing's apprentice at this moment, he was willing to give him a hand.

"So, as you've seen, if you're willing, you can now change it to my internship," he said openly.

The crowd that had been pretending to be quiet and gossiping suddenly erupted into chaos.

"What luck this newcomer has!"

"It's one thing to be drawn as Yuan Jianxing's mentor at the start. But as soon as Yuan Jianxing gets into trouble, Mu Wangzhuo takes over. It's too smooth."

Amidst the noise, Mu Wangzhuo beckoned over a tall man.

"This is my trainee executive officer. He'll help you with the formalities later. Since he joined a few hours earlier than you, remember to call him 'senior brother'..."

Just then, Fu Ze said loudly, "Thank you for your kindness, Senior Mu. I appreciate it."

Mu Wangzhuo, who had been talking non-stop, suddenly fell silent. After a long pause, he spoke again: "...What did you say?"

The plot twists and turns kept viewers glued to the screen, afraid of missing a single detail.

Fu Ze said casually, "According to the disciplinary notice that the deputy director just announced in the auditorium, Yuan Jianxing's current position should be junior executive officer."

The implication is that junior executives are of a higher rank than trainee executives, and junior executive Yuan Jianxing can naturally become a mentor to trainee executive Fu Ze.

Mu Wangzhuo's appreciation for Fu Ze deepened once again.

He likes guys who are loyal and righteous.

I have a good eye; I picked out such a good prospect for Yuan Jianxing right away.

But recalling Yuan Jianxing's instructions, he still mouthed to Fu Ze, "Yuan Jianxing thinks this is better for you."

Mu Wangzhuo's reminder only made things worse; it was only after he did that Fu Ze's anger, which he had managed to suppress, was about to reignite.

...What do you think now?

Who do you think you are, a little crocodile who has lost to me twice?

I don't care what you think, I care what I think.

Fu Ze smiled slightly and immediately replied, mimicking the sentence structure from Yuan Jianxing, "But I think this would be better for me."

Seemingly feeling that this counterattack was too weak, he continued to add fuel to the fire: "Opportunity is no longer an opportunity when everyone knows it is one."

Fu Ze's words were not spoken on a whim, but rather were the result of a long-term plan.

Although Fu Ze was filled with pity and anger at Yuan Jianxing's lack of ambition while reading his self-criticism in the elevator, he suddenly realized something was wrong after turning off his phone—Yuan Jianxing had been transferred to L City at the same time as his demotion.

Among the crowds that Fu Ze passed by, they were all discussing the part about Yuan Jianxing's demotion, ignoring the location of the demotion.

What kind of place is L City? It's the headquarters of the Kangming Group.

What is the Cummins Group? It's a tough nut to crack that the CEO has been trying to crack for so many years.

Without the resources that the CEO can mobilize, what can Yuan Jianxing, a mere mortal, do?

After all this trouble, does the Trial Bureau just want Yuan Jianxing dead?

That doesn't make sense.

The truth is probably not so simple.

"Are you sure? The information entry system is about to be frozen. It's not too late to back out now." Although Mu Wangzhuo said this, there was a hint of joy in his tone. "Betting is risky, and investment requires caution."

“I’m sure,” Fu Ze said, emphasizing each word. “I believe in myself, and I believe in Yuan Jianxing.”

He knew, of course, what it meant to reject Mu Wangzhuo's offer.

This means he has given up his originally smooth career path, he has been assigned to the original Jianxing team and may face various difficulties and dangers, and even has to risk exposing his identity to deal with the questioning and accountability from the Kangming Group.

But he was going to do it anyway.

Regardless of the fact that he was originally going to L City to find the Dragon Spine, the third most important principle on Fu Ze's vast list of life beliefs was—

The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish!

After watching the whole thing, a comment drifted out from the crowd: "Isn't this that 'marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog' thing?" causing a burst of laughter.

The tense atmosphere instantly relaxed.

Human hearts are made of flesh and blood; ultimately, people still prefer to see things that can bring tears to their eyes.

Of course, it would be even better if the sequel was a revenge story with a satisfying comeback.

Stray dogs love watching this.

Moreover, if it were Hara Mihoshi, he would be perfectly suited for such a storyline, which is exactly what everyone wanted.

After the crowd had mostly dispersed, Mu Wangzhuo said to Fu Ze, "Then you should go back and pack your things right now. I'll pick you up in an hour."

"Yuan Jianxing is going to L City today. If you go with him, it will save you a lot of trouble."

"It's also a good opportunity to build a relationship."
